Connecting to your TV (VIDEO)
Method 2
Component video jacks (Pr, Pb, Y)
• The component video jacks are color-coded green,
blue and red.
• Additional component video cables (not supplied)
are required to provide best picture quality. They
are usually color-coded green, blue and red.
• Connect the component video OUT jacks on the

• Connect the video OUT jack on the receiver to
the Video IN jack on your TV so the video content
goes from the receiver to the screen.
• If your television is a high defi nition
television, use the unit’s progressive
scan output to get the highest possible
video resolution. Set the Progressive Scan
option in the Video menu to On.
• If one of the devices is not working, check
that all the cables have been inserted
properly into the jacks.
• Connecting mono components to your
receiver: If your component has only one
output for audio (mono), connect it to the
white audio jack on the receiver and don’t
use the cable’s red plugs.

the unit to the OPTICAL DIGITAL OUT jack on VCR,
TV, Set Top Box or other component.
2. Press the DIGITAL button on the remote control to
activate the sound from the external source.
3.
If you wish to change the Surround Mode setting (NOT
RECOMMENDED!), please see instructions on page 16
for Surround-Digital In setting.
Note
Ø3.5mm to Ø3.5mm audio cables (not included).
• Suggest using Ø3.5mm AUDIO IN
jack for MP3 player and AUX IN
jacks for equipment such as TV,
VCR, Satellite or Cable Box.
• If the AUX IN (or AUDIO IN) audio signal
is mono, you may not receive audio on
all speakers.
Connecting the speakers
Speaker wires are color-coded to match the terminals. Connect the speaker wire from the back of each
speaker to the corresponding color terminal at the back of the unit. Press down the tab to open the
terminal and insert the wire. Release the tab to lock wire in the terminal.
To adjust each speaker volume level for optimum listening experience.
(1) Press the LEVEL button on the remote control to select Left (front Left speaker).
(2) Press the VOL+/VOL- buttons to adjust the value up or down (between -10dB and +10dB).
(3) Repeat step (1) and (2) for the other speakers Right, Center, Left Surr., Right Surr., Subwoofer and Loudness (on/off ).
Speaker gains may be set to levels of up to +10dB, actual max levels may also depend on your Volume Setting.
Note: Center speaker provided with this
unit is magnetically shielded to protect
your TV set. It is not recommended to place
the front speakers, surround speakers and
subwoofer near the TV set.
Notes
• When you press STOP, the unit stores the
point where playback was interrupted. If
you press PLAY again, playback resumes
from this point.
• To stop playback completely or to start
again from the beginning, press STOP twice.
If the unit is left in STOP mode for more than
5 minutes without any user interaction, a
screen saver is activated. At the end of 30
minutes without any user interaction, the
unit switches off automatically.
Note
Insert 2 “AAA” batteries in the remote
control prior to use.
1. Left, Right (Front Speakers)
Front speakers carry primarily music and sound
eff ects.
2. Center
In surround mode, the center speaker carries
most of the dialog as well as music and eff ects.
It should be set between the left and right
peakers.
3. Surround (Rear Speakers)
The surround speakers’ overall sound balance
should be as close as possible to the front
peakers. Proper placement is vital to establish an
evenly distributed sound fi eld.
4. Subwoofer
A subwoofer is designed to reproduce powerful
low bass eff ects (explosions, the rumble of
spaceships, etc.).
Courtesy Dolby Laboratories
Front speaker placement
For best results, follow the speaker placement
below.
Alignment
Align the center speaker evenly with (A) or slightly
behind (B) (the left and right speakers), but not
ahead of them.
Angle
Place the left and right speakers to form a 45-
degree angle with your favorite viewing position
to duplicate the soundtrack mixer’s perspective.
Height
The three front speakers should be as close as
possible to the same height. This often requires
placing the center speaker directly on top (A) or
beneath (B) the TV set.
Positioning speakers
A
B
Note: When connecting the speakers,
make sure the polarities (“+” speaker
wire to “+” on the receiver. For example,
red wire to red terminal on the receiver)
of speaker wires and terminals match. If
the cords are reversed, the sound will be
distorted. Do not let the speaker wires
touch each other, it will damage the Home
Theater’s amplifi er.

Things to consider before you connect
• Ensure that the mains supply in your house
complies with that indicated on the identifi cation
sticker located on the back of your unit.
• Install your unit horizontally, away from
any source of heat (fi replace) or appliances
creating strong magnetic or electric fi elds. The
components of this unit are sensitive to heat.
The maximum ambient temperature should not
exceed 35°C / 95°F.
• Leave enough space around the unit to allow
adequate ventilation: 10 cm/4 inches on either
side and above the top, and 5 cm/2 inches at the
rear.
• The humidity of the room should not exceed 75%.
If you have to use the unit outdoors, do not expose
it to rain or splashing water. The apparatus should
not be exposed to dripping or splashing and no
objects fi lled with liquids, such as vases, should
be placed on the apparatus.
• Moving the unit from a cold place to a warm one
can cause condensation on some components
inside the unit. Let the condensation disappear
on its own before turning the unit on again.
• Before moving the unit, make sure the disc tray
is empty.
Better surround placement
Location
If possible, place surround speakers to either side
of the listening area, not behind it.
Height
If space permits, install surround speakers 2-3 feet
above viewers. This helps to minimize localization
eff ects.
Aiming
Aim surround speakers straight across the room,
not down at viewers, to help create a more open,
spacious surround sound fi eld.
Alternative Surround Placement
Rear wall
If rear wall mounting is the only choice, aim the
speakers at each other (A), towards the front (B) or
towards the sidewalls (C, D).
Experiment with placement until sounds seem to
surround you, rather than come from behind you.
No adjacent walls
Surround speakers can go on stands facing each
other to approximate sidewall mounting (A), or to
the sides or rear of the viewing area, aimed upwards;
they can go right on the fl oor, or preferably, a few
feet off the fl oor such as on end tables (B).
Test tone/Channel balance
Channel balance
Your receiver is equipped with a test signal
generator to help you balance the audio level for
each channel. See Audio Setup under The Setup
Menu section of Instruction Book for details on
how to access this feature .
As the signal “travels” from channel to channel,
use the VOL controls to adjust each channel to the
same loudness level.
Level adjustment and surround channel level
expectation
Even though you may adjust the surround channels
to be as loud as the others on the test signal, you
might fi nd that surround channels seem quieter
for actual TV and Movie content. This is because
producers use surround for subtle atmospherics
and ambience, and only rarely for special eff ects.

Compatible Formats
In order to ensure playback, discs must conform
with DVD or CD standards. This unit may not play
some recordings or fi les due to differences in

fi nd that not all discs will play. When playing a
CD-R disc, it is normal for the unit to take up to
60 seconds to recognize the disc before starting
to play.
If the disc is not recognized after a period of 120
seconds, remove the disc, and insert it again.
